-//Orcs retain the Federation-recognized right to invoke Gor’Ohk, rejecting courts, contracts, and corporate mediation in favour of a trial by combat witnessed by peers. The rite is not about punishment, but proof: an orc who speaks truth is believed to fight harder, endure longer, and stand with greater conviction than one fuelled by deception. In theory, victory is not required — only resolve — but in practice, the one left standing is almost always the one believed. As a result, most major organizations maintain a designated chromed up duellist, extensively augmented and Swole-MAXXED out of their mind, to answer such challenges on their behalf. Across the Federation, Gor’Ohk is just another once sacred tradition crushed under it's corporate heel, a shadow of what it once was.//\\+//Orcs retain the Federation-recognized right to invoke Gor’Ohk, rejecting courts, contracts, and corporate mediation in favour of a trial by combat witnessed by peers.

 Gor'Ohk isn't necessarily to the Death, but it isn't uncommon. Many Orc myths and legends start with two opposing Orcs facing each other in Gor'Ohk and becoming great friends or lovers as a result. It is a contest of might makes right and Orcs don't fear death in the way most other sapients do, thus when two Orcs who believe they are right fight, they fight with every ounce of their being, which can lead to Injury or Death. This fact is often used by corporations, who will have professional duellists on hand to handle Gor'Ohk requests, and therefore the challenger rarely walks away alive. Many modern Orcs resent their traditions being taken advantage of in this way and can be distrustful of Federation or corporate politics.\\ Gor'Ohk isn't necessarily to the Death, but it isn't uncommon.

-==== Melee Affinity ====+==== Close Combatants ====
 //Orcs possess an instinctive, almost joyful relationship with close combat. Their bodies are built around leverage, dense core musculature, reinforced joints, and layered muscle groups that translate motion into impact with brutal efficiency. In an orc’s hands, any dedicated melee weapon becomes more lethal, and any solid object becomes a potential one. They understand weight, balance, and momentum intuitively, striking with confidence born of a lifetime of physical problem-solving. This makes orcs perpetually dangerous at close range; they are never truly unarmed, and everyone knows it. The same instincts that make them terrifying in battle also explain their dominance in Spaceball, where timing, force, and a willingness to collide head-on turn raw physicality into sport.//\\ //Orcs possess an instinctive, almost joyful relationship with close combat.
